GUI Installation Question


Recommended Posts

I'm new to Ubuntu Server and I'm in the process of installing a GUI. (Preferably GNOME). In Ubuntu help, there are 2 sets of instructions:

sudo apt-get install fluxbox x-window-system-core xdm
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install gdm

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Do I need to type them both or just the second?

I believe ubuntu-desktop is all the essentials, and then you have gdm, the gnome display manager, both of which are necessary for the UI to work.
